Side Pipes?

[miah]

Ive been clicking through the gallery and havent seen any pics of trucks with sidepipes. Has anyone done this? Why arent they more popular?

[whipcreamcharger]

man i thought of it but i hasnt sure if would look good but now i think i would look cus i put some on my truck in the photoshop hehehe

but they would be cool as hell maybe with a flaming exhaust kit too muhaaaa

i think it may be because of the gas tank being on the drivers side...thats about the only thing i can think of because i really wanted to do that too.

Side pipes are so 70\'s! LOL



The main reason you probably don\'t see them is cuz the pipes would hang WAY too low. If you think about it for a minute the frame on the S-10\'s are below the body and you\'d have to run the pipe under the frame. This would only lead to big problems with ground clearance I would think.

I always thought they were cool, but it depends on the style you want to apply to your truck. I don\'t really think side pipes would look good on the setup I\'m using but I\'m sure it would be awesome on a lot of trucks

I have thought about it before, but never had the money. But now that i think about it the whole lowered thing would probably get in the way. I would like to see one though it might look tight.

Ive seen one done on an 89 s10 once the guy ran it through the frame so he had to strengthen the frame and weld in a tube. it looked good but looks more like a car thing to me..

if i decide not to lower my truck i think i can do them, theyre such a 70s muscle car look lol



maybee i can throw in an 8track player too and grow a mullet.....

[fasrnur]

Hey miah...lets get it right. Mullets were in the 80\'s and afro\'s were in the 70\'s. http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif

i am sure nobody cares but here in SC i see a lot of wack trucks but i once say a truck with a side pipe coming out of the bed and in to the air like a semi-truck would have. maybe that would be cool j/k

but how about exhaust pipes coming out of the hood like a demolision derby car

by the way i was born in 1984 i guess i\'m not the youngest on this site

[whipcreamcharger]

i\'m sure no one cares but i saw some crazy things SC like a side pipe on a truck coming out of the bed and into the air like a big rig would have

wait that sounds kinda cool j/k

but what about straight headers coming out the hood like a demolition derby car.

i was born in 1984 i guess i\'m not the youngest on this site

[whipcreamcharger]

opps i thought it didnt work

im a dumb @ss

My headers drag on car trailer unloading as really low and big collectors...real pain...thinking of making some exiting through hood or running so a collector sticks out sides through each fender...anyone seen that done? http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif

[fasrnur]

WOW miah I am an old fart. LOL



Good to see the young ones into this sport.

[TonySS400]
